Want to make GP while leveling your magic? Use our OSRS High Alch Calculator to quickly calculate profit per item, XP gained, and GP/hour based on real-time GE prices. Whether you’re flipping alchables or grinding to 99 Magic, this tool helps you choose the most efficient items to alch in Old School RuneScape.

What Is the OSRS High Alch Calculator?

The High Alch Calculator is a tool for Old School RuneScape players that estimates how much gold profit and magic experience you’ll gain from casting High Level Alchemy on various items. It accounts for nature rune cost, item GE price, and cast time to deliver accurate profit/loss breakdowns.

High Alchemy Explained – Profit & Magic XP

High Alchemy is a level 55 Magic spell that converts items into gold. Each cast gives 65 Magic XP. The key to profit is choosing the right item—one that alchs for more than it costs to buy and cast the spell.

Who Should Use This Tool?

This calculator is ideal for anyone alching in bulk, leveling magic through alchemy, or seeking steady income with minimal effort in OSRS.

How to Use the High Alch Calculator

Step 1 – Select Item & Quantity

Start by entering the name of the item you plan to alch and the quantity you want to process.

Step 2 – Enter GE Price & Rune Costs

Add the item’s current Grand Exchange price, the price of a nature rune, and check if you’re using a Fire Staff to avoid extra rune costs.

Step 3 – View Profit, GP/hr & XP Estimates

The tool calculates total cost, alch value, profit per item, profit per hour (based on 1,200 casts/hr), and Magic XP gained.

Interpreting Your Results

Profit per Cast vs Per Hour

You’ll see the net gain (or loss) for each alch and an estimated GP/hour rate assuming you’re casting continuously with minimal delay.

XP Gained per Hour

Each alch gives 65 Magic XP. With 1,200 casts per hour, expect around 78,000 XP/hr while making (or losing) GP depending on your item.

Burn Rate of Runes & Staff

Using a Fire Staff saves on Fire Runes. Without one, you’ll need 5 Fire Runes per cast. Always factor this into your rune cost for accuracy.

Best Items for High Alch

Consistent Cheap Alchs

Items like Adamant Platebodies, Rune Med Helms, and Yew Longbows (u) are often safe bets with minor losses or breakeven potential.

High-Value Alchs

Items such as Battlestaves, Dragon Equipment, and High-Level Barrows Gear can provide significant profit—if bought wisely.

Buy Limits & Revolution Strategies

Most high-alchable items have daily GE buy limits. Rotate between different profitable items and track timers to scale your income consistently.

Profit & XP Tips

Use a Fire Staff to Skip Fire Runes

Equipping a Fire Staff (or variants like Lava Staff) saves you 5 Fire Runes per cast, increasing profit margins substantially.

Monitor GE vs RuneLite Plugin Prices

Real-time prices change fast. Use both GE and RuneLite plugins to find accurate values, especially during market spikes.

Rotate Between Items to Avoid Limits

Buy limits reset every 4 hours. Keep multiple items on hand to maintain your alch session without downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are GE guide prices?

They are averages and can vary from actual in-game prices. Use plugin-based data or check GE manually for large alch sessions.

Can I account for Low Alch too?

This calculator is built for High Alch only. Low Alch uses a different formula and is generally not profitable for XP or GP.

Is GP/hr estimate realistic?

Yes, assuming you alch consistently at 1,200 casts/hour. Results may vary with breaks, lag, or attention span.

Do buy limits affect profit?

Yes. GE buy limits can restrict how many profitable items you can acquire daily. Rotate items to stay efficient.

Can I use this for RS3?

No. This tool is designed for OSRS mechanics. RuneScape 3 has different alch values, rune prices, and XP systems.
